🚨 The best product doesn’t always win. In 2025, startups with average products but great distribution will beat great products with poor distribution. Why? Because users don’t find the “best tech.” They find what’s in front of them. 💡 Founders need two kinds of fit: 👉 Product–market fit (solves a real pain) 👉 Distribution–market fit (gets in front of the right people fast) Ignore either one, and your startup stalls. 👉 Which one do you think founders underestimate more — product–market fit or distribution–market fit? #startups #entrepreneurship #venturecapital #leanstartups #founders

Many IT services founders burn out by trying to do it all by chasing every lead, fixing every issue, and experimenting without direction. Without realizing it, they drain their energy and lose momentum. Startups with bold visions often fade after a few years when fueled only by the founder’s willpower. Real scaling demands more: a united team, aligned through clear positioning, focusing their energy where it truly drives growth. #Emerging #IT #Tech #Services #Startup #Entrepreneurship #Growth #Positioning
